No No No, crapppp! if the last permutation is what you say it is my paper is ruined!

Well sorry to be the one to tell ya.. but I think you did that one wrongly... :(

You Only considered like 12! - 4 TOGETHER right? ... there can be 3 together , 2 together as well.. or 2 together in 2 separate places... if you subtract all those combinations I guess you will get the same answer as mine... But that's how these sorts of questions are solved from what I have seen from past papers.

Yea.. It was really unclear.. I mean they take two chocolates in first part.. They take two from Ahmed or two as in one from sarah and from ahmed ? :\

CIE are always clear in their questions .. At least I found all their probability questions in the past papers to be easy.

SO I GUESS they will give benefit of doubt to the candidates (Not sure though) If they do.. then all you people's mark could be saved in that probability question.

EDIT *past papers.

I forgot the exact wording. Did the question say that NONE of the hibiscus should be together?

The way you did the question was the right method. It wasn't to be done like by (12!-9!4!), so hope for full marks in this part atleast. (y)
